Care in Uncertain Times
Last Updated: 11/08/2024
As we collectively deal with the implications of social distancing, stay-at-home orders, and a global pandemic, questions of care and self-care have become ever more important. These books, issues, and articles investigate different ways that care can bind together individuals and communities where larger institutions or governments fail to intervene. They show how radical care is essential to enduring precarity and to laying the groundwork for new futures.
The introduction to each book is free, and books may be purchased at dukeupress.edu.
